You've seen social experiments on tv, such as Ashton Kutcher's Beauty and the Geek. If you had unlimited resources and could do your own "social experiment" What would you do? How would you conduct it? How would you choose your participants?

I think it would be interesting to bring two people who gossip about each other (not in a nice way)together and lock them in a room for a few hours...I wonder if the would talk to each other or ignore each other until you let them out. Who knows? In the end a person might have to call an ambulance!

I don't know, it would be pretty cool. I would probably do something along the lines of Beauty in the Geek, where it looks inside a person's personality despite a unpleasant exterior. What I would do is have a group of like, 6 or 7 people working at a homeless shelter unpaid for a long period of time and see which one treats them the best. I would get people who were very superficial, but hide a few people inside the homeless people and evaluate the different volunteers and pick a winner, who would win a prize. It would provide two things: one, it will be a study of human caring and compassion. Two, it would provide some needy people more help and some attention in the media.
